Ibis First Name Meaning

The name Ibis is of Latin origin and is primarily a gender-neutral name. It means "Long-legged Bird." The ibis is a group of long-legged wading birds found in wetlands, forests, and plains. The name "ibis" comes from the Latin and Ancient Greek word for this group of birds. These birds have long, downcurved bills and feed as a group, often probing mud for crustaceans. They are known for their monogamous and highly territorial nature while nesting and feeding. Most ibises nest in trees, and all extant species are capable of flight. They are diverse in their breeding habits, with many species breeding in large colonies on trees. Ibises have cultural significance, being objects of religious veneration in ancient Egypt and serving as mascots for various institutions. The African sacred ibis, in particular, was associated with the deity Djehuty and was revered in ancient Egyptian culture.
